Dr. Yang's father-in-law didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he didn't plan to talk too much about Zhou Ming, so he told Zhou Ming when he entered the door, and he picked the things in the house at will, but only transferred three pieces, and then talked about the price after picking the good things.

Zhou Zhou Ming muttered secretly in his heart, is this old man sincere or deliberately setting the threshold? However, in such a passive situation, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss if I bargain for a while. Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming nodded indifferently, "I'll take a look first, I'll bid if there is something suitable," which means that whether your things can be seen by me or not, then you have to look at it.

The old man led Zhou Ming into the living room, "There are both in the living room and in the study, you can look at it yourself and pick it slowly." ”

Zhou Ming nodded noncommittally and looked at the outfit in the living room. The living room is not too big, but the dress is also elegant, it looks very attentive, some calligraphy and paintings look like old things, but after getting closer, I found that many of them are fakes, and occasionally a little small object is also very ordinary, not very good, not worth his shot.

Is this trip in vain? Zhou Ming secretly frowned and shrugged his shoulders at the old man, "Let's go to the study and have a look." ”

"Finished reading in the living room?" The old man was unusually surprised, "...... so quickly" obviously wondered if Zhou Ming had seen something famous.

Zhou Zhou Ming secretly laughed in his heart, how could I be able to see this little gadget in your living room, and finish reading it so quickly? As soon as I walked in, I knew how much real stuff was in your room.

However, although the old man frowned a little, he still took Zhou Ming into the study in the inner room, the study is not big, it can even be said to be quite small, except for a desk and a Duobao Pavilion, there is nothing else to put in it, but the old man entered the door and dragged out a large box from under the desk, opened the lock and stretched out his hand to Zhou Ming, "Most of the things are here." ”

After entering the study, the jade pen suddenly emitted a relatively strong burning sensation, suggesting that Zhou Ming had good things here, he glanced at it without a trace, and a bunch of scrolls fell into his eyes. It seems that the scroll in this study is more outstanding.,Although there's a lot of real things.,But it's too much worse than that scroll.,I just don't know if it's a word or a painting.。

Dealing with the old man's casual rummaging a few times, Zhou Zhou Ming deliberately shook his head with a disappointed face, "Old man, there are some real things in your box, but most of them are not of high value, to put it mildly, there is almost no collection value, we Boguxuan don't need objects of this grade." ”

"You ......" The old man's face was a little ugly, and after glaring at Zhou Ming twice, he pointed to the Duobao Pavilion against the wall, "Everything is there, be careful, don't break it, everything is a treasure." ”

Baby? Zhou Ming smiled secretly in his heart, and that scroll can be called a treasure, other things, forget it, most of them are fakes. Although he thought so, Zhou Zhou Ming deliberately showed a look of surprise, "Really? Then I'm really going to see it. ”

The old man was stimulated by Zhou Ming back and forth, and his anger was a little big, so he took a step forward to open the Duobao Pavilion and carefully took out a piece of porcelain from it, "Look at this, the official kiln porcelain in the Guangxu period, I took a lot of effort to buy it back, the best of the best, I am willing to sell it if someone pays 600,000 yuan, if you want it, the minimum price is 800,000." ”

Zhou Ming almost didn't laugh, where did this old man get his confidence, he dared to shout the price of 800,000 yuan for this bottle? In this condition, 80,000 yuan is considered a high price, although it is indeed something in the Guangxu period, but it is not an official kiln, so it really has to be considered.

I was disdainful, but I still cooperated to make a cautious expression, carefully holding the blue and white plum vase known as the Guangxu official kiln, and looked at it seriously.

The small mouth and short neck are full of shoulders and abdomen, which is also the characteristic of the Guangxu period, especially the ** cutting marks on the bottom of the jade bi to illustrate this point, even if the mark is the three-line seal book of the "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty".

The old man could identify that this bottle was from the Guangxu period, and it seemed that he still had a lot of experience in the study of porcelain. It's a pity that the estimation of the market value has a strict deviation, especially the aesthetic ability is debatable, this bottle is a good thing in the Guangxu period, and it looks like the shape of the vessel is quite exquisite, but from the enamel to the color material to the ornamentation, these key points are almost defective, and some of them are really not on the table.

In fact, this plum vase can not be regarded as a strict blue and white flower, it is a combination of blue and white and pastel, the peach tree with blue and white painted on the white glaze, and the main color is also blue and white, but Shishan, Ganoderma lucidum and Shou peach are pastel, there are two kinds of pastel, pink and dark red, and the theme is very auspicious.

But the problem is that the glaze of this bottle is not too delicate, the heat is not very uniform when firing, and the painting work is average, these auspicious decorations look stiff, even skilled old painters can not compare, let alone compared with real painters, can only be regarded as good handicrafts.

And the most important thing is that the quality of this blue and white material is too poor, the rendering effect of the blue and white material is almost none, and the color is not that bright blue, but it looks very dark and heavy, the whole bottle looks a little dead and heavy, but it is similar to the overall atmosphere in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, giving people a feeling of sunset and western mountains.

The blue and white material has become like this, which can only show that the maker of this bottle has no intentions, the blue and white material has not been finely processed, and it has not been purified and used so indiscriminately, it should be something to deal with errands.

For bottles of this grade, whether they come from official kilns or private kilns, the price cannot be raised. Those objects of extraordinary value, in fact, people rarely look at where they are produced, and the most important thing is the value of the object itself. During the Guangxu period, the value of fine porcelain fired by some private kilns was not worse than that of the official kiln, and some were even much more valuable than the official kiln.

So Zhou Zhou Ming just glanced at it twice and shook his head in disappointment, "Old man, you can keep this bottle for yourself, if you give it to me, don't say 800,000, even 80,000 yuan, I don't want it." ”

"Hmph, you don't want me to sell it anymore," the old man was obviously angry by Zhou Ming, you must know that these collections are his life's work, and almost all of his income over the years has been invested in this aspect, but these things that he treats as treasures have been gently denied by Zhou Zhou Ming's young age, and he can't even look down on any of them.

Seeing that the old man was a little angry, Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders in anger, "Old man, I understand your feelings, but if you don't have something better, I won't stay." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming saw that the old man was short of money, and knew that the old man would not let him go lightly, so he secretly poked the army, so that when he talked about the price later, he could quietly hold the initiative in his own hands.

And after entering the door, he quietly observed the attitude of the old man's family towards Dr. Yang, and then looked at the appearance of Dr. Yang's girlfriend.

Now most of the people in the city are only children, marriage and marriage are equal, and most of the time buying a house and a car is shared equally between men and women, not to mention this kind of marriage where women chase men, and women can't say anything if they don't pay more dowry.

According to the living standards and habits of Qingshi, the old man needs at least 100,000 yuan of dowry to come out, which means that Zhou Zhou Ming has to spend 100,000 yuan here for the old man, but how difficult is it to take out 100,000 yuan from Zhou Ming? There are not enough high-grade good things, how can Zhou Zhou Ming be willing to pay so much money?

Therefore, when he saw the old man hesitating, Zhou Zhou Ming seemed to really want to turn around and leave.

"Wait, aren't you looking at anything else?" The old man hesitated and shouted to Zhou Ming, "I have other porcelain, which are definitely fine." ”

Zhou Ming chuckled, "If you have to see the boutique or not, what is in the cabinet?" As he spoke, he returned to the Duobao Pavilion, and then suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Why is there still a scroll?" Is it a word or a painting? ”

"Paint, you want? Can you read it? The old man's face was happy, and he smiled proudly: "This is Master Mei's work, it is very rare, if you want, I can give you a cheaper." ”

"Master Mei? Are you talking about Mr. Mei Lanfang? Hearing the old man talk about Master Mei, Zhou Zhou Ming subconsciously thought of Mei Lanfang and hurriedly asked.

"Exactly, you want to see?" The old man touched his beard triumphantly.

How could Zhou Ming not watch it? Originally, he was going to attack this scroll, but when he heard that it was Mei Lanfang's painting, he couldn't sit still. However, his face remained as calm as possible, "Mr. Mei Lanfang is a well-known figure in our country/national opera industry, he has heard a lot of plays, but I have never seen his paintings, if it is a genuine work, it is worth collecting." ”

"Of course it's a genuine work," the old man saw that Zhou Ming seemed to be very interested in Mei Lanfang's work, so he hurriedly took down the painting scroll and slowly spread it out on the desk.

The painting scroll is a vertical scroll, but the size is quite large, there is more than four feet of appearance, not counting the framed frame, the painting is about 140 centimeters long, less than 35 centimeters wide, the painting is a big willow tree and two vivid oriole birds, paper painting, coloring, with a small freehand technique, more partial to the brushstrokes, the willows and flowers and birds in the painting are unusually delicate and delicate.

At the upper left end of the painting, He Zhizhang's "Yongliu" is inscribed with exquisite small block letters, "Jasper is made into a tree high, ten thousand hanging down green silk, I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors," at the lower end of the poem fell the five words "Wanhua, Mei Lanfang", and at the end of the inscription are two seals, "Mei Lanfang" three-character white text seal and "Wanhua" two-character Zhu Wenyin, are all seal texts.
